This might seem intimidating, but Cutie did an excellent job of telling us and showing us how to do a hexagon quilt. Your fabric would be awesome for this quilt.
Read through this to see for yourself, this is very do-able even for a beginner!

I would use one yard of the fabric: 36 x 45, and center it for a whole quilt with a pieced design around it. It would be beautiful with squares of red, black and a third color alternating them around it in a pattern. Quilt it around the design of the red fabric and around the squares, then bind it with a red matching the center fabric.

Check out the free patterns by Jinny Beyer
www.jinnybeyer.com
She has excellent free tutorials on using fabrics like these. She also offers a free block pattern each Friday, and has been doing that long enough that there are thousands of free block patterns on her site.
She also offers quilt patterns for the whole quilt free.
yes, you can buy fabric and patterns and dvds and all the fun stuff there, but I don't get the feeling that I have to buy or else from her site like I do from some others that offer free stuff.
As you stroll through the tutorials you can begin to get an idea of what you want to do with your fabric, then jump over to the free blocks and find something similar
